Best PvE players ladder - First PvE season [x1/x5/x100/FUN - WoTLK]

[VúSale]

Dear players, we are glad to announce you, that PvE competitive system starts working from now on in OBT mode with the start of first PvE season for х1, х5, х100 и FUN realms.
PvE Ladder is a system, where PvE players can compete with others and get rewards for the best results in categories: speedrun/solo score/guild score.

---

What is PvE ladder and where you can find it:

PvE ladder is in the control panel https://cp.wowcircle.net/pveladder, and works like structured logs of nearly all the PvE activiy on our realms, with a table for each realm:

- "Instances" tab - is a general tab where you can find all the information about recently completed raids, find best speedrunners in 2 categories: duration from the start and boss time (spent in general). For ease of genreal table use, we added sorting like, for example, by instances/raids/difficulties. Points + Duration is used by default in "Instances" tab;
- "Players" tab - is a table with best solo PvE players, where you can see when and what for did the player get his points, incl. check of HPS/DPS and other info;
- "Guilds" tab - same as "Players", but with only guild activity, not its separate players. You can also check guild members by clicking its name and detailed raid statistics.

Let us talk about every competetive category:

- Speedrun - completing raid dungeon during the shortest amount of time;
- Solo score - for completing dungeons/raids player gets PvE points, that form a score and will identify who gets the reward in the end of a PvE season;
- Guild score - is a similar system, but points are given for guild activity, guild raid is a raid with 80% (20 players) guild members.

Useful information about PvE ladder:

- Speedrun category counts from the moment when the first player enters the raid and stopps only after last boss death, that means to be the best you must complete the dungeon as soon as possible without AFK;
- Players, taking part in guild raids also get solo points;
- If a player leaves the guild, points are not removed, solo score stays the same;
- PvE points can not be transferred or sent, etc.;
- To get guild points you raid must contain of 80% guild members;
- In PvE ladder you can see the loot and check if a player has his right to get it.

PvE points and how to get them:

Pints are something like a score system, you can get them for completing the dungeons and lose when you wipe.
Points for WotLK raids, besides default amount also have bonuses. The faster you complete the raid, the more points you get. Bonus score are also given for hard mode activation in WotLK raids.

Default points: For successful boss encounter of classic raid - 1 PvE point; For successful boss encounter of BC 5 people heroic - 1 PvE point; For successful boss encounter of BC raid - 2 PvE points; For successful boss encounter of WotLK 5 people heroic - 5 PvE points; For successful boss encounter of WotLK 5 people mythic - 10 PvE points; For successful boss encounter of WotLK normal 10-ppl raid - 20 PvE points; For successful boss encounter of WotLK normal 25-ppl raid - 45 PvE points; For successful boss encounter of WotLK heroic 10-ppl raid - PvE points; For successful boss encounter of WotLK heroic 25-ppl raid - 60 PvE points.

Bonus points for raid hard mode: Obsidian sanctum - for each hard mode "level", you get 2 more points, that means you can get 6 more points with 3 dragons; Ulduar - for each hard mode "level", you get 3 more points (some bosses have one level, but they are hard enough to count it more difficult); Icecrown Citadel (10 ppl) - for completing ICC without dungeon buff you get 15 points more for each boss; Icecrown Citadel (25 ppl) - for completing ICC without dungeon buff you get 30 points more for each boss.

Misc: All WotLK bosses have their reference kill time (will be corrected from season to season), that we collected and calculated during long period of time, that is why all your WotLK points are multiplied by a coefficient, calculated like: Reference encounter time / Actual encounter time; Each wipe will cost you half of encounter points, if you wipe in 25-ppl heroic WotLK raid - 60/2 = 30 - you lose 30 points; General amount of PvE points can not be negative, if you had 0, wiped and got -30 - you have 0; All encounter points are multiplied by a factor, depending of encounter patch: - Patch 3.1 - х1.5 (Ulduar, Emalon); - Patch 3.2,3.2.2 - х2 (ToC, Onyxia, Koralon); - Patch 3.3 - х2.5 (ICC, Toravon); - Patch 3.3.5 - х3 (RS). Factors and coefficient are only applied to WOTLK raid bosses. Reference time will be corrected after every PvE season. Point amount can be also corrected from season to season.

Current PvE season is held only to tune the ladder in work, check if points are given correctly for different activities, remove the bugs that could not be found during tests, collect reference information from ladder logs for more correct season.
Approximatelly 3-4 weeks after season start a new thread will be opened where you can share your ideas about the PvE ladder.
After tune period in second season we plan to give real rewards to best players in definite categories like with arena seasons.
